Ben Kerry, Greg Cole, Leon Moxam, Mark Coley, John Collins and I, among others are riding over 2000Km, starting from John O' Groats and finishing at Land's End. The route will take us zigzagging through Britain via military camps where we hope to add to our collection. I am also hoping that as the route has topped the 2000Km mark it will really standout and people will take note of our effort.
We are all part of H.M. Forces and have all served in Afghanistan or Iraq, if not both. I will be dividing the money equally between Help for Heroes and The Royal British Legion, two of the largest charities that help our servicemen and women both past and present. The support they give ranges from providing facilities to aid rehabilitation and recovery, to helping ex-service personnel from past conflicts who still need assistance.
Unfortunately it is not possible to have one page for two charities so I have two, this one and www.justgiving.com/thelongwaydown-trbl. I would like to ask that, unless you have a preference, you split you donation between the two.
We all truly believe in the work that both of these great charities do and with your help I hope we can raise a lot of money and in the process increase awareness of these vital charities and the life changing work they do.
I would like to say a big thank you for some of the companies who have made some of this possible, this includes -
